Fun and Educational

Doing this tour wasn’t only very educational but it was so much fun. Rita, our tour guide had such a wealth of knowledge in Beijing’s history. She was also very patient with us as we enjoyed browsing/shopping at Qianmen Street. We also got to taste our first zhajiangmian noodles at Fang Zhuan Chang. I totally recommend this tour to have an overview of Beijing as well as enjoying it at night and especially seeing how the local folks unwind at Houhai Lake. Thank you to our very nice and warm-hearted tour guide, Rita my husband and I had such a wonderful time. I would gladly do this tour all over again with Rita.

Operator response

Dear Guest Thank you for your lovely review! Rita is overjoyed you had an educational and fun Beijing night tour alongside your husband.

Unforgettable night out! Mei is an absolute gem!

If you are looking for a night tour that is equal parts informative, exciting, and hilarious, you absolutely have to book with Mei! From the very second we met up, Mei brought an incredible, infectious energy to the group. She isn't just a guide who recites facts from a script; she is a natural storyteller with a brilliant sense of humor. She had us laughing the entire night while showing us some of the best spots in the city that we never would have found on our own. The night tour itself was incredibly fun, beautifully paced, and the perfect way to see the city lights. Mei went above and beyond to make sure everyone was included, took fantastic photos for us, and gave us the best local recommendations for the rest of our trip. Thank you, Mei, for making our night so memorable! If you get a chance to tour with her, don't hesitate, just book it!

Operator response

She thoughtfully arranged a well-paced itinerary, led you to hidden wonderful night view spots, captured beautiful photos for you and shared great local travel tips. She always cared about every member of the group wholeheartedly. It is such an honor that you highly recommend booking a tour with her without hesitation. We will pass all your warm compliments and sincere gratitude to Mei immediately. Wish you have endless wonderful moments during your trip! Best regards, Lily's Beijing Tours Team
